Is there a new Xbox 360 Arcade configuration released for this Spring? The XboxHacker forum seems to believe so, as they point to a new "Jasper" model that's supposedly coming with a built-in Memory Unit (MU) that has double the capacity.

 

Published images of motherboards that were purportedly manufactured in Japan on April 9, 2009 then surfaced, which features 65nm CPU and 65nm GPU, plus a 4Gb NAND flash device. The 512 MB it carries easily makes it double the storage capacity of current built-in memory units.

For now though, we're tagging this as rumor, obviously because Microsoft has yet to confirm the said units. But we're kinda leaning towards believing it's real. They have said they'll be rolling out more DLC after all.
